The World Wines Competition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In The World Wines Competition, the largest in the world, expert judges from six continents taste all wines double blind. That is, neither they nor anyone else in the room knows the identify of the wines. Because of this, the only factor evaluated is the wine itself, not its prestige, price, origin or other factors.
The highest-rated red wines are ranked from one down to four, with only one wine in each category. The same procedure applies to white wines.
